A/N: I'm very tired from project/homework. I know you guy wants 9 to tell Smaug about the movie, but I'm sorry! I'm not going to put it on yet,alright. Hope you like this chapter.


Chapter Six: Tour spider,riddles, and itches

My body felt heavy when I started to wake up,my arm's and leg's still felt stiff.

'Pip?' I called but heard nothing. I open my eyes with a blurry sight but manage to focus and see the sight of the gold coins and stuff. I rolled over to try to stretch out my back,but I didn't expecting to see someone who is really right near me. Which is Smaug.

I quickly got up but I fell behind and hit the floor while Smaug moved his head closer to me. The bottom of his chin touched the platform while he stare's at me.

"So...This is where you've been," he said. "You're a willful little thing, aren't you?" he brought one of his wings to the edge of the platform, his fingers gripping the side of the stairs. Figured it was to block the way in case I try to run (Which of course I would for a second). I guess he was angry at me cause I wasn't near him.

"I-I was only trying to find a spot to sleep. If I sleep on treasures, it would be uncomfortable." I said,hoping he believed me. Smaug turned his head,sitting one of his large eyes on me."B-but of course not you Smaug. To you it must be like...uh...s-sleeping on flowers...I'm-I'm truly sorry for not staying close to you."

"Really?" I nodded. "I'm glad to hear it,"he said and back away then start leaving his treasure and me behind.

"Hey wait. Where are you going?"

"If you try to leave this mountain while I'm gone, I will do you much worse than anything you could think of."

"...Okay...But its still fair I get to explore your kingdom?"

"Hmph. You may." He said and left.

I was worried whats he might be up to,I thought he just usually just sit here and sleep. Why would he be leaving this place. Maybe...maybe he just want to burn something, or even the city! Or anybody! I got up quickly and start running to find Pip for answers.


"Pip! Where are you?! Pip!" I yelled as I search for that spider. "Pip!"

'Ahh! Shut up! I'm coming!' I heard him yelled from above. I look up and saw him crawling down from his web. 'What is it?'

"Have you saw Smaug coming this way a few minutes?"

'Yeah? He did leave a few minutes ago.'

"Why is out now? Doesn't he usually stay's here?"

'Yeah, he does. Why would he leave his kingdom?'

"I don't know...You don't think he out there...destroying any city's or homes...right?"

'I don't know. M-maybe he just looking for breakfast or something. I'm sure that city is far away from it.'

"(Sigh) I hope your right...Say, Pip?"

'Yeah?'

"You know this place more than anybody else, right?"

'Yes,yes I do.'

"World you mind giving me a tour of this place?"

'Sure! I wouldn't mind. Follow me.' He started swinging from his web to the wall and started crawling.

Pip showed me around like where the dwarfs make there food,gold,clothing, having there own bed's and he even took me to the kings throne. Which took away 5 minutes away when I was playing as king. While we were walking around I took some materials for making a bed near the treasure chamber since Smaug may won't let me sleep in any other rooms. Then he (accidently) showed me a room where a pile of corpse,bone's,skeleton, of drawfs. I nearly almost felt sick and wish Pip never showed me this but I have to get use to it. Besides, I do put some corpse of animals around in aunt Stella's house.

"Hey, Pip?" I said.

'Yeah?'

"Is there any...washing room they have in here? Cause I really need to wash."

'Oh course. Come with me.' he leads me to the washroom which was huge for many people to come in. Even the water is still clean.

"Thanks, I'll be right back."

'What? Why?'

"Cause I don't want anyone else in here with me."

'I knew it. Why are you people afraid of being nude. Seriously, why do you even have clothes on?'

"Out. Now."


7 minutes later

'Finally your out.'

"Really? At least there is still a few soap in there. Also, I think I got that berry juice off of me."

'No, you don't.'

"What?"

'I can see any type of fruits by its colors and its scent. And it looks like that scent will never be gone.'

"Dammit! Come on! (Sigh) Continued with the tour." As I walk with Pip for the tour, stairs were getting cracked, the floor almost drop me from above, should have thought this through for letting Pip take me for a tour. He pick the dangerous place to walk on. On the way he show's me around, I noticed a big/giant hole that leads outside,it was mourning.

"Pip is this where Smaug leave his kingdom"

'I guess so. By the look's of it, he would fit right through.'

"Okay. That could be a backup plan if Smaug tries to kill me."

'Hey, 9.'

"Yeah?"

'What was that thing you have in your bad. It haves a white apple on it and a black-'

"Wait, did you go through my bag?"

'...No...'

"(Sigh) Its called an iPhone." I said then took it out of my bag. "It aloud's to talk to people from far away places...Only if you have a service around."

'Wow...Is there any small one, for a spider of course.'

"Sorry Pip. There's no small for a spider. Hmm, I did forget what date it is." I press my calendar and it showed it was Dec 5.

'So what else does it do?'

"It lets you play video,games,go on google-"

'Whats a Google?'

'...Nevermind. Lets continued the tour."

On the way, with the tour, Pip got a bit tired of crawling and decided he thinks its enough tour for a day. We got back to the treasure room and waited for Smaug to come back.

'What do you think of the tour.'

"It was quite fun. Except nearly falling over and not waning me to watch out for the crack hole in the floor."

'Oh yeah. (Nervously chuckle) Sorry about that.' Just then Smaug came back from behind us with a dead cow in his mouth.

"Is...is that your breakfast?"

"No." he said then drop the cow right in front of me. "This is yours." he moved away from me then drop his head to go to sleep. But...

"...It's raw."

'What are you doing?' Pip ask me.

'Do you want Smaug to think I am not a normal human. Normal human doesn't eat raw food's.'

'But I thought you like blood meat, even if its raw you said.'

'I do, but if he notices something strange about me, he will try to get the answers out of me. But I do sometimes enjoy cooked meat.'

"What?" Smaug said.

"I-I can't eat it raw."

Smaug got up and start heading towards the dead cow while me and Pip back away a bit,knowing what's coming next. His chest and eyes light up then he breathes fire at the cow.

"There. Its done." He said then started to sleep again.

"Wait. But aren't you hungry?" I ask.

"No. I've already eaten 20 sheep's from a field before I gone to get the cow." he said then resumed to sleep again.

"...Okay."


Dec 10

Pip was still touring me about this place, telling me the history of the dwarfs, and showing me some dress he thinks I should wear, but there is no way I'm doing that. At night(or morning, couldn't tell what day it is) while Smaug is asleep I still draw him in my sketch cause it a bit fun. And I also sit on the ledge of the outside of the mountain where me and Pip try to escape at. I couldn't go where Smaug goes to, he'll be thinking I'm still trying to escape. Sometimes Smaug would caught some animals for him and me to eat (mostly him).

Me and Pip were listening to music while we sit by the ledge at night. He sometimes kept begging me to tell him more about what else is around the world.

'So this "Xbox 360" can copy you and you could play in a game, right?'

"Hmm, close,but yeah."

'Amazing! I think it will be even way better than riddles.'

"Riddles? Oh hey, I have a question."

'Yeah?'

"Do...Dragons enjoy playing riddles?"

'Yeah, why?'

"...Can I challenge Smaug for games of riddles." I said and smiled evilly.

'NO! NO! You cannot challenge a dragon for a riddle. Trust me, they always win no matter what.'

"Come on. Let's try for one bit."

'...(Sigh) Fine. But I will help you creating some riddles and help you know what answer it is.'

"Thanks!" We start heading back to Smaug's treasure chamber to see him but he was asleep.

'Welp, too bad 9. Looks like we have to wait until he wak-'

"From star dust made was I,shaped and changed as time went by, name's I've known,owners too,belonging to no one when time is through," I said.

'WHAT ARE YOU DOING! You cant wake up a dragon!'

"What?" Smaug responds and starts opening his eyes and lifter his head up.

"I-I ask you a riddle. I read story's that dragons love riddles."

"No. But I wish not to be disturbed from my sleep,shadow," he said and growled.

"Oh. Then I'm sorry for disturbing your sleep..." I said then started to leave.

'Your luck he didn't burn you into ash.' Pip said.

'Hey, don't blame me. When he wakes up before going hunting, I'm still going to ask him a ri-'

"The land."

"What?" I turned around and saw Smaug nearly to close to me again.

"The land, that was my answer." he said and back away from me a bit.

'HA! Get ready Pip.'

'Oh, Valar, why a dragon instead a troll.'

"Yep. Your turn." I start to come down the stairs and lying against the wall.

"Hmm,I end and begin the day,without me,you'll pay. With the aid of sheep, all my benefits you shall reap."

'...Shit. Pip!' I clearly should have listened to Pip for not challenging a dragon.

'Let's see...begin the day...you'll pay...aid of sheep- It's sleep.'

"Is it sleep?" I answer.

"Yes"

"Alright."

'Hey Pip,know any riddle's'

'(Sigh) Repeat after me.'

"...I can't walk, a mouth but I can't talk, a head but I can't think, a bed but I can't sleep. Who am I"

'It's the river?'

'Yep.' Smaug took a few moments to think about it, if he does it hard, then I (or we) will do it hard.

"A river."

"Dammit. Yes"

We were playing riddles for almost an hour and neither one of us got it wrong(well Pip help me with the answer to whatever riddle Smaug said) or give up. When it's my turn,Smaug changed his answers a bit different instead of telling the answer.

"Thirty white horses on a red hill,first they champ,then they stamp,then they stand still."

'Let me guess, you heard this from a "Movie". Right?'

'Yep. It was in the first movie of the hobbit.' I said and close my eyes to rest.

'Couldn't you at least tell the dragon that he is a most famous creature from that movie you said?'

'No. It kinda feels...uncomfortable to say he's from a movie that he wasn't supposed to exist.'

'Fine. But I'm for sure he-...9...'

'Yeah?'

'...T-The d-dragon is right beside of you.'

'What?' I felt a breath right beside my head, I opened my eyes and turned, just to be scared why would he be close to me! He showed his teeth in front of me.

"Wha-what are you d-doing?" I ask.

"This is my answer." he said and still showing me his teeth's.

'Is he...'

'Showing you the answers instead of telling you...yes.' Pip said in fear and quickly hide behind me.

"I-I...I guess your right,b-but showing is kinda-"

"My turn,"he said before I say anything else."What is a big as you are and yet does not weigh anything." He pulled his head away from mine while I wimp a bit.

'He did it far,way too hard now!'

'Okay, I'm now scared again,I can't think of an answer! When I'm scared, I can't think straight!'

'Then be un-scared!'


15 Minutes later

'What's the answer Pip!'

'Why can't we just quit! That's a very easy thing to do!' We were trying to solve the answers to the riddle,Pip wanted me to quit but I'm not quitting yet.

"(Chuckle) I am guessing you have finally failed,shadow."he said with a smirk on his face.

'Okay, we lost. I-'

'Wait. T-That's the answer!'

'What answer?'

'Shadow! Your shadow!'

"Your shadow?" I said and faced toward Smaug who literally drop his smirk. "Ha! It is! It's your shadow!" He just said the answer.

"You little...(Growl) Fine." he scowled at me.

'Pip, Can you create a random riddle. Cause I think Smaug might continue to show me the answer.'

'Alright.'

"...Brown,blue,green,black,sometimes I wish you would cut me some slack some people have me,some people look at me,you use me constantly, and through me, you see inside. What am I?" I said and saw Smaug turned away from me while I turn to Pip. '...Whats the answer to this?'

'It's...It's...'

'You don't know the answer,do you?'

'The dragon is scary,don't blame me! I'm always a coward!'

'Please think fast to this riddle so he won't freak me out.'

Smaug has been taking his time on this while me and Pip think whats the answer to this riddle before Smaug does.

'Could you at least read his mind?'

'No.'

'Come on. Please.'

'(Groan) You better owe me for this. Causes it's very hard and possible-...uh...'

'...He's behind me.' I turned back to Smaug to see him but all I saw was his eye,right next to me. I could even see my reflection in his eye. I felt my face heated up and turned away from him and hide my face with my hands.

"Um...again? And is this your answer to the riddle?"

"Yes it is." he said and drew his head back while I felt myself cool down a bit and look back to him.

'Is it really,Pip.'

'...Yes. That's the answer...Sorry.' It had to be an eye.

"Then your answer is right." I said and saw Smaug putting back his smirk on.'Pip,please hurry up and find out whats he thinking!'

"My turn."


10 Minutes later with more riddles

"The field. It's the corn field,right?"

"(Growl) Yes"

'Pip,any riddle's your thinking? Without forgetting the answer.'

'...Got one.'

"...You can hold it without using your hands or arms. What is it." I said with a smile while Smaug turned away and look down at his gold.

'Pip.'

'...'

'Are you kidding me!'

'I'm sorry! Oh, Valar what was it,what was it!'

'Hurry up before-' I turn around and saw Smaug in front of me (again),and breath out his breath at me. I held my nose very tight so I won't smell his breath.

'N-now I remember...'

'Which is?'

'...Breath.'

'Oh come on!'

"Y-your-(Couching) yes...t-that's the answer...Have anyone told you to eat some...I don't know,mint leaves?" Hey,I have to say it. Who wouldn't want to get near him if his breath smells?

"No. And I never like those mint leaves"

"Well...has anyone at least tell you to wash your mouth?"

"No...But,I rather like it if someone could clean them for me (Chuckle). Would you like to clean my mouth,Shadow?" He opened his mouth wide and licked each of his teeth with his tongue. I nearly gag at the sight of that,felt disgusting, and trying so hard not to imagine going inside his mouth.

'I think I'm going to be sick!'

'You and me both.'

"I...I-I rather not."


15 Minutes later with harder riddles

"Oh, Shit!" Smaug breathed fire almost right in front me and Pip, but we moved away just in time. "Are you insane!?"

"(Laughing) You ask a riddle, that was my answer."

'Pip! That riddle was fire! Why the hell would you make me say a fire riddle!'

'Sorry! I didn't think he would really do that!'

'Oh yeah. Like the other riddle where Smaug's tail almost squeeze me tight as a snake, I was about to lose my life!'

'Hey! I said I'm sorry!'


25 Minutes later,Pip is not good with riddles

"Okay. My turn."

' Please don't think about any more terrible riddles and don't forget the answer!'

'Okay,this one is safe,I'm sure.'

"...In marble walls white as milk lined with skin as soft as silk,within a fountain crystal clear a golden apple dose appear. No doors are there to this stronghold-yet thieves break in and steal the gold." When Smaug turned his head away from me, I turn around just in time to see Pip crawling away!

'Pip!' he stopped his track and turn's to me.

'I'm so,so sorry! It's really hard for me to remember it! I just had it for a second and now it's gone!'

'Oh my god,please think fast! And please it better not be worse than anything else!'

'Okay,okay. I-I think its...oh no.'

'Pip...what's the answer?'

'Um...please don't be mad...and you might not like it.'

'Will tell me now or Sma-' Suddenly, I felt something wet and slimy on my neck and cheek,that caused me to squeal and rolling down the stairs until I got to the bottom. I look up to see Smaug with his stupid smirk on his face.

"(Chuckling) You do taste like what I've expected." he said then drew his head closer to me while I started moving backward away from him.

"Wh-what do you mean and why the hell did you do-eep!" without a warning he licks my face! "(Groan) Gross! Why did you do that?!" I yelled as I wipe off dragon spit off my face.

"Well,isn't it obvious? That was my answer. But for the second answer,I just wanted to taste you again. You really did taste like blue berry's."

"Why do you keep showing me answer's instead of telling me?"

"What's wrong with that?"

"You freak me out,nearly burn me,but mostly the part when you lick me. So could you please just tell me the answer instead of showing to me?"

" Fine,we can do it your way but if you were confused by my answer, it was tongue."

"...See. Is that hard for you?"

"I rather like to taste you again."

'...PIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP!'

'I said I'm sorry!'

"My turn." Smaug said and moved his head away from me." I grow softly in the night,ready to bring you warming light with gentle breath,perhaps ignite to the cold, a welcomed sight"

'...Don't even-'

'This one is on you,9! I'm out!' I saw him crawl away and went inside a tiny crack to get away.

'TRAITOR!'

"Can I have...three guesses?" I ask.

"Granted"

"Okay,uh...is it lava?"

"No."

"Alright...Then it's water?"

"No,but you do need to only have one answer left."

I was thinking very hard over and over again to find the answer to this riddle. Five hours later,I finally found the answer. "I give up!" Okay,well at least for five seconds. "I literally don't know this riddle at all!...You won."

"(Chuckle) A dragon never loses a simple game of riddle,Shadow." he laid down on his gold and closed his eyes to sleep.

'Pip! Your dead when I find you!'


Dec 23

Me and Pip were sitting on the kings throne,listening to music. Most of the time, Smaug would leave me alone for a little while,until he calls for me. We were minding our own business until we heard loud rumble and grumble about something.

'Don't go for it.' Pip said,but I didn't listen. I followed the sound,while Pip starts following me. '9,please don't. It will be confusing what you're seeing.'

'Don't care. Still going to see.' When we both reached to the sound we saw Smaug rubbing his back against the stone walls. 'Pip?'

'No idea.'

"Why are you pushing the wall?" I ask and caught Smaug attention. "Are you trying to renovate your home or something?"

"No,since I have been active,I have begun to shed my skin. If I don't shed it, it will irritating and itches," he said and continued to try to get the shed off his back.

'...Got it. It's like one of those snakes things, right. His skin to allow for growth and to remove parasites that may have attached to their own skin.'

'Yep. How did you know so much about reptiles,Pip?'

'Uh...lucky guess?'

'Whatever you say...Do you think he needs help?'

'Na, let him be.' he said then crawl away.

"You need help?"

'What are you doing?!'

'Sorry, but this will be annoying to him if he keeps having to do this.'

"No."

'Oh thank goodness.'

"Alright suit your shelf," I said and start to leave him.

'Pip,how would you like a bet.'

'For?'

'If Smaug calls me in 3 seconds, you have to teach me how to speak Elves and dwarfs word/speaking. Cause I clearly don't know anything about it.'

'Alright, if he doesn't, you have to listen to me when something bad happens. I don't want you to get killed by him.'

'Deal.'

...1...2...3...

"9!" Smaug called and made me stop my track and turned to him with a smirk.

"You called?" I won the bet.

'I'm not going to be there for your funeral,9.'

"(Growl) Just...get these itches off of me."

"(Giggle) Okay I'm coming." I said and come towards him. He laid down on his chest to go with his back first. I climbed up on his back which was hard since he is a giant dragon. He notice I was struggling to get on his back so he grab my hood with his teeth (which nearly caused me and Pip to have a panic attack) and dropped me around his neck. This will be a challenge for me since I have to scratch all of his scales.


5 minutes later

Smaug's eye's were closed,keep rumbling while I started scratching his wing's next. It was getting fun doing this.

'See,Pip. This isn't that bad.'

'Sure,9.'

"Would you mind getting off now." Smaug said.

"O-of course." I slide down on his wings and reached to the ground. Suddenly he grabs my hood again and laid down on his back this time and set me down on his chest. "You really starting to like my scratch,don't you?"

"Don't speak. Just continue your work," he said and waited for me to scratch him.

While I was scratching him,he started making that rumble sound again. It took me a few minutes until I finally realised why he's making that sound. I didn't know I was laughing a bit until Smaug spoke to me.

"What is so amusing to you?"he asks.

"Uh..N-nothing."

"It doesn't seem's like to me,tell me."

'Don't say it.'

'If I don't say it,he's going to kill me'

"You...sound like a cat." I am so dead!

"(Growl) Do not be thinking I am your pet,Shadow."

"Okay...only if you stop acting like one."

"What are you saying?" his eyes started to glow,have to be careful what I'm going to say.

"Your purring..."

'You shouldn't have said that,9'

"No I wasn't" he hisses.

"Really? Then what were you doing?"

"I was Thrumming."

"What?"

"Like a rhythmic humming."

"Hmm,you can say that...But to me,you sound like a cat."

'Nice knowing you 9.'

'Why?' I felt myself starting to rolled off of Smaug and hit the ground. When I was about to get up,I felt something pressed against my back which hurts. I turn my head around and saw Smaug chest on me.

"What are you doing! Let me go!" I yelled and try to crawl away but couldn't.

"Your being punished."

"Punished!? Why do I deserve this!? Your crushing me!"

"Because you said I sound like a cat,which I am not."

"Well,you do to me."

"If you say I'm not purring like a car,I'll will let you go." Then I said something stupid.

"Never!"

'Idiot.'

'Its was worth it!'

It was not worth it. He starts to roll a bit more to my side,I think I heard one of my bones crack...Yep,wasn't worth it at all!

"Okay,Okay! Your not purring like a cat,your not purring like a cat!" I yelled. He rolled back were he was while I finally get a chance to breath.

"Good. As for your next punishment,you will be my scratch for a week."

"Really? Now you want me to be your scratcher? After you-"

"Do you want to clean my mouth then?"he said with a smirk.

'(Laughing) He got you now,9!'

'Dammit!'

"NONONONO! I'll...just be your scratcher." I said and start to continued where I left off.

'I told you not to say that.'

'I cant help myself. I need to say that!'

'Well at least he didn't kill you. But please don't do any more dangerous stuff like that'

'Can't do that.' Smaug started to ''Thrumming'' again,but to me still,he's purring.
